La Pasta - Nantes

Excellent meal and service. each plate they brought to me was excellent, prepared and carefully assembled. her burrata was amazing. if they like good pasta, this is a place to try in nantes. make sure they book before the place is small, and many locals know that it is excellent.

Marvellous contrast, Turkish eaten the night before and french the most time. warm and friendly host with excellent staff and very inexpensive Italian eat. pasta die.

The exterior of La Pasta is to be honest a little unprepossessing. 70s style aluminium door and green neon. Inside it is pretty small, 35 covers spread over two floors. Judging by the accents, the chef and front-of-house are Italian; I suppose I...could have asked, but I didn't think to at the time. The food is exceptional. Adults plumped for the day's special which was red pepper stuffed with veal force meat and capers, oven baked and served with pasta in a tomato aubergine sauce. Youngest daughter (aged 6) had spaghetti carbonara (adult portion, she ate the lot); the elder two had foccacia, which is not the same as pizza, but is, apparently, a Southern Italian equivalent made something like a cake and with pizza toppings. Both disappeared with gratifying rapidity. We didn't take dessert, but with 50cl wine, various soft drinks and two (very good) coffees, the bill for five came to €62,50. La Pasta is only a little away from the centre, and it's not exactly a venue for a crucial romantic date, and the decor is perhaps a little dated, but it is well worth the detour for some quality Italian cooking.

Good people, very good food, home pasta ! Take the Regatoni alamatriciana !!!

We came here for food one night while at a conference in Nantes and the staff were lovely. The chef even came out and talked to us and they made sure we understood everything and wasn't condescending about us not being able to speak French!The food was very tasty, we only had a main course, but my dish was excellently cooked. The restaurant was quite small, but we were downstairs, not sure how much more space there was upstairs, however all in all, lovely food and welcoming staff.
